The Boathouse, Biddenden, Kent

The Boathouse is a luxury log cabin lodge perched on a private lake in the Kent countryside. Located 2.5 miles from Biddenden, this waterside retreat offers total seclusion for couples seeking peace. Want to wake up to the sound of water lapping against the shore while birds provide your morning alarm? This place delivers.

Set in half an acre of fenced grounds, you'll have your own slice of rural Kent to explore. The surrounding countryside offers fantastic walking routes with The Three Chimneys pub accessible on foot. Biddenden village is just minutes away with its tearoom, restaurant and shop. Wildlife watching opportunities are endless - previous guests spotted everything from kingfishers to deer from the veranda.

This single-bedroom lodge features an open-plan living area with floor-to-ceiling windows flooding the space with natural light. The modern kitchen includes a breakfast bar, while the bedroom boasts a king-size bed and French doors opening directly to the hot tub area. There's even a claw-foot bath in the bedroom - perfect for those who like to get wet twice in one night.

Nearby attractions include Biddenden Vineyards (4 miles) for wine tasting, historic Sissinghurst Castle and Gardens (2.4 miles), Tenterden's shops and cafés and Cranbrook (5 miles) with its windmill and museum. The six-seater hot tub provides the perfect spot to soak while watching the sunset over your private lake.

The Boathouse combines luxury with nature. It's ideal for couples celebrating special occasions or simply escaping everyday life. The owners even provide fresh bread, butter and eggs on arrival - though the hot tub will likely be your first stop!
